I'm just curious… What would happen if you used a cheat or a glitch to trade Missingno to Generation II?

It would be converted to a Generation II Pokémon based on its index number; see this list.

Its possible to trade fossil/ghost Missingno. to Generation II under particular circumstances, and there are also three other glitch Pokémon in English Red/Blue and five in Yellow that are naturally able to be traded through the Time Capsule, because they happen to have the same types in Generation I as the equivalent Generation II Pokémon.

Quite often Gen 2 games will stop you from trading glitch pokemon and give you the message "Your friend's *pokemon* appears to be abnormal" It's a failsafe. There are only 5 Hexadecimal slots that contain glitch pokemon anyway (and they are at the end of the list) so likely it will get comverted into whatever pokemon the hex is on pokemon g/s/c as Hácky said.
